Where the Hell is Matt ?

If you don’t know if you’ve seen this before, if not please look at it as it might change the way you see life.

This guy Matt got sponsorship to go around the world and dance (badly as he sais so himself) in front of well known landmarks. After the first video in 2005 he made 2 more.

Presentation Zen has posted a short presentation of Matt himself explaining how he made the videos.

Starting a blog

Boy, this wasn’t easy to do…

I’ve been meaning to start a blog for a long time now, but had no idea what to write.

I am passionate about my work, which is programming (mostly in PHP).

I like databases and I’ve been using MySQL since version 4.

I enjoy the guessing-game of SEO and I try to make all my sites as search engine friendly as possible.

Recently I read a book about Adwords, saw the system in action and what benefits it can bring to a new or existing website.

Also,

I enjoy reading Science Fiction books, a few of my favorites beeing Dune by Frank Herbert and more recently Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card.

I started taking photos about an year ago and discovered I like it very much, as it resembles art (painting or design), which I cannot do because of my lack of drawing skills.

I describe myself as a hardware freak. I have around 17 years of meddling with computers (PCs mostly and starting this year Macs). I have owned tens of computer components, around 8 PCs, 2 laptops and 1 Macbook. One of my other future plans is to open a blog about hardware, electronics, gadgets and sorts.

I love FOOD. I enjoy cooking but right now I’ve got no time for it. Unfortunately I’ve become a fast-food addict like many others. I eat mostly preprocessed food.

Like all people I have friends. I hope that they will help and support me here. Input is always welcomed as "content is king" :D.
